.5PPR: Forte or Fitzgerald for Flex

All the positional/flex rankings I read have Forte over Fitzgerald. yet I'm still thinking about it. I know Fitz hasn't had a TD in a while, only had 6 receptions last week and has a tough matchup. But I am also looking at Forte's matchup, the fact he's in a potential timeshare after last week, and even got out touched by Langford. Would love to hear some good thinking to make me feel comfortable either way, or at least no decision is a bad one. Anyone have some good thoughts for me? Need your mojo!

I have Forte, but not Fitz. I've been debating playing other RBs over Forte, or other WRs over him at the Flex, all week. As of now, I am sticking with Forte. I think the Bears will use Forte more this week, and will need to run and throw RB screens against the Vikings. The Cardinals would of course like to use Fitz, but they have good pass protection and other weapons for Palmer to use. The Bears have other weapons too, but they can't protect Cutler enough to rely on the passing game. I think they'll rely on the run and Forte. I'd give him a slight edge this week.
